Rusah tapped out Schulte.

Sean Rush vs.

delivering some hard knees to the body. Schulte extricates himself
and wings another pair of huge right hands, one that draws air and
the other lands in a glancing fashion. Rush scores a quick
double-leg takedown and works to pass his opponent’s guard. He gets

Mansanas vs. Bryson
KamakaRound 1

takes a southpaw approach. Misech seems comfortable standing in the
pocket, pistoning jabs, looking to set up his left hand. Misech
misses with a jab but floors Saito with the straight left that
followed right behind. He pounced on his downed foe and battered
him with wild punches. Saito seemed to have his wits about him as
he defended by rolling from side-to-side before eventually getting
back to his feet. Misech took advantage of the fight returning to
the feet and punished Saito with knees to the body and head.
Referee Chris West intervened in what seemed like a premature
stoppage at 1:53 of the first frame. Saito did not seem wobbled at
all when West pulled Misech away from him and just stood there
seemingly bewildered.

Maiava, another Hawaiian southpaw, kicks the
scoring off with an inside low-kick and a straight left to the
face. Mizuno seems unfazed and grabs a body-lock and tries to
wrangle Maiava to the mat. He is unsuccessful and Maiava scores a
takedown of his own off the break. He can’t set up in Mizuno’s
guard and struggles to keep him on the mat. Mizuno gets back to his
feet but ends up on the receiving end of a number of hard punches
from his eager opponent. Maiava drops Mizuno with a flurry and
tries to end the bout with another salvo of punches to a fallen
Mizuno but misses the mark. Mizuno escapes back to his feet and the
two fighters square off in the middle of the cage. Maiava lands a
nice knee but gets overzealous in rushing Mizuno and is reversed
down to the mat.

Mizuno uses the balance of the round to improve his position but he
doesn’t do much damage as he switches from guard to side control
and nearly mount. Sherdog.com scores the first round 10-9 for Ilima
Maiava.

Round 2
Maiava shoots a knee up the middle as the fighters engage early in
round two but Mizuno is ready and pushes the off-balanced Hawaiian
to the mat. From there he methodically works into position for a
submission attempt. After flattening Maiava out, Mizuno snakes his
arm under the head of his opponent, trapping his limb in place and
squeezing until he forces the tapout at 1:47 of the second
round.
